“Holiday shows always feel like such special events, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be making my directing debut at City Theatre with one,” said Director Kyle Haden. “Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley is a play that kind of feels like a present, and I'm eager for folks to come and unwrap the story inside we're putting together with this talented cast and team of designers.”
